I am finding out that a wet cold is preferable to this dry, windy cold. So I opted for the treadmill again today. The iFit 5k that popped up today was a trail run in New Hampshire. I didn’t notice a date or time of year for the run, however, it was very green with…

Yesterday I ran my old three mile loop through the Mission Valley neighborhood. I forgot how much I like that wide community sidewalk that wraps the neighborhood and is lined with shade trees. I ran about a 9 minute pace and felt great. Today was an early morning and the temps are in the mid…

Headed out a little after 6:00am while still dark out with the temperature around 42 degrees. My legs felt a little tight and it took longer to warm up than normal. Completed a nice, slow three miles as the sky started to lighten with the sunrise. Nothing super special today. Always grateful for another day….

The run on Saturday afternoon was a light pace to preserve energy for the early morning half marathon on Sunday. Then played a little pickle ball on Saturday afternoon after my run. This morning was an early wake up call to prep for the half marathon. I started with a smoothie and banana. I don’t…

Ran this morning then ran to work! I feel like I am running late most days and really need to push myself out the door earlier…it’s just so dark and cold. Today was a busy Friday and I am so grateful for the early run to begin my day with a win. Even if it…

Cut out early from the office around 3:30pm to run in the sun again. Such beautiful days right now. Then headed to meet a friend who is teaching me to play pickle ball. Today was my third time and I am really starting to enjoy it! I was a tennis player for years so the…

Early run today around 7am with temps in the low 40’s. Easy pace to rest up for upcoming half marathon in four days. I am listening to a book from the Memory Man series with the main character named Amos Decker. I like to mix a few fun books in with the business/motivational books. This…

It was overcast and a little drizzly this morning so I packed up my running gear in hopes that the weather forecast would be correct and it would clear up this afternoon. Sure enough the sun came out and I changed into my running gear. I headed out from the office about 4:00pm for an…

I waited until 24 hours after the tattoo was completed because that is how long I needed to wait to take a shower and change the bandage. See no shower equals no run before work. It was still a rainy and overcast day with a break from the rain this afternoon which was perfect. Weather…

The weather forecast was for light rain very early, then a break until afternoon. So I laced up and started my run around 9:00am. Nice overcast day with temps in the low 50’s…so perfect for a training run to get ready for the half marathon next week. Then the really big event of the day…
